A Curious Grace: Week 3 (Repentance)

 

Introduction

Our Lenten theme for 2025 is: A Curious Grace.  The grace, forgiveness, and way of life demonstrated by Jesus are curious things--so curious that even the most faithful Christians have trouble coming to terms with them.  This Lent, we are going to open ourselves to the curious nature of Christ's grace by asking some questions designed to help us dig deeper into what grace is, how it is reflected in our lives, and what that means for our interactions with God, one another, and the world.  May each week's reading, music selections, and questions help you become more receptive to the fullness of God's grace and more intentional in how you share the Good News of that grace with the world.

Scripture 

Luke 13:1-5

At that very time there were some present who told Jesus[a] about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.  He asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish just as they did.”  (NRSVUE)
